Mt. Lebanon has been designated
a recognized Keystone Main Street in
Pennsylvania, announced State Rep.
Dan Miller.
Mt. Lebanon received the recognition
through the Department of Community
and Economic Development’s Keystone
Communities Program, which is designed
to encourage the creation of partnerships
between the public and private sectors that
jointly support local initiatives such as the
growth and stability of neighborhoods
and communities; social and economic
diversity; and a strong and secure quality
of life. The program allows communities to
tailor the assistance to meet the needs of its
specific revitalization effort.
“Mt. Lebanon was previously recognized
as a Keystone Main Street, resulting in
many accomplishments. But more needs
to be done,” Miller said. “The Mt. Lebanon
Partnership, a volunteer nonprofit program,
and the municipality have bold plans for Mt.
Lebanon’s business district, none of which
would be possible without this designation.”
The central business district revamp
includes the Washington Road Streetscape
Project, a placemaking plan with accessibility
as a major driving factor, façade assistance, a
series of popular events and much more.
Communities can apply to receive
designation through the program as a
Keystone Main Street, Keystone Elm Street,
Keystone Enterprise Zone, or Keystone
Community. Designation is an opportunity
for targeted investment and development
including the identification of specific needs
for investment and/or development and the
design and implementation of a strategy to
address those needs.

REMINDER: STATE’S
‘DO NOT CALL’ LIST
IS PERMANENT
A bill signed into law in October amended
the state’s Telemarketer Registration Act to
remove a five-year time limit for enrollment
on the Do Not Call List for residents. In
addition, businesses can now register to be
included on the list.
The new law also bans telephone
solicitations by telemarketers on legal
holidays and requires robocalls to start a
phone call with a clear way for recipients to
opt out of future calls.
There are some exceptions, including:
• calls made by businesses to existing
customers or to consumers who have
conducted business with the company in
the past 12 months
• debt collection calls
• calls from charitable, fraternal, or
veterans organizations.
• calls made on behalf of political groups
or candidates.
Anyone violating the law is subject to
a $1,000 penalty. That penalty increases
to $3,000 if the person being called is 60
or older.
To register on the state’s Do Not Call List,
visit attorneygeneral.gov/protect-yourself/
do-not-call-list/. You can also register by
calling 888.777.3406. n
